The microphone at the top of the device is active only when you use the speakerphone or take videos.

• Do not cover the antenna area with your hands or other objects. This may cause connectivity problems or drain the battery.

• Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions.

Maintaining water and dust resistanceThe device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of the device.

• Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes.

• Ensure that the back and multipurpose jack covers are tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide protection from water and dust.

• Do not immerse the device in water for extended periods.

• Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as ocean waves or waterfalls.

• Do not open the device’s covers when the device is in water or in very humid places, such as swimming pools or bathrooms.

• Do not open the back cover using wet hands or when the device is wet.

• The rubber seal fitted to the back cover is an important component of the device. Take care when opening and closing the back cover to avoid damaging the rubber seal. Also, ensure that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust to prevent damage to the device.

• Do not detach or remove the multipurpose jack cover from the device.

• Do not expose the device to salt water, ionised water, or soapy water.

• The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed.

• If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or the speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.

• If the device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.

• The water-resistant design of the device causes it to vibrate slightly in certain conditions. Vibrations in these conditions, such as when the volume level is high are normal and do not affect the device’s performance.

• The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other liquids.

• Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be water- and dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of classification IP67 as described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15 - 35 °C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 meter, 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation.

2 Pull out the battery.

Getting started

15

3 Press the SIM or USIM card with your finger, and then pull it out.

Charging the batteryUse the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also used to charge the device by connecting them via the USB cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

• When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

• If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.

• If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid disconnecting from the network or losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

Getting started

16

1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor.

2 Open the multipurpose jack cover.

3 When using a USB cable, plug the USB cable into the right side of the multipurpose jack as shown in the image below.

• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

• Ensure that the back cover and the multipurpose jack cover are closed tightly to prevent water and dust entering the device. Open or loose covers may allow water and dust to enter the device and cause damage.

• Be careful not to damage or detach the multipurpose jack cover. A damaged or missing cover can result in water damage to the device.

4 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

• The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

• While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.

• If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

Getting started

17

5 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

Do not remove the battery before removing the charger. This may damage the device.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket and easily accessible while charging.

6 Close the multipurpose jack cover.

Ensure that the multipurpose jack cover is closed tightly.
